Absolutely! I hope you are not misunderstanding my post as a put-down, I was just marveling at the oddness of the minimalist decor. And my self-reflective "Does anybody care?" was making fun of myself developing all these theories as to the why and wherefores of the decor of some long gone, obscure place in some desert town.
